Attend the Business Session to Approve the 2026 Policy Priorities

Business Session 
Thursday, October 9 
1:00 p.m. 

Ensuring that all counties' voices are heard is a priority of ACCG. The association encourages every county to appoint a voting delegate before attending the LLC. Voting delegates will cast the final vote on behalf of their county for the 2026 Policy Priorities, which will guide the Association’s advocacy efforts before the General Assembly. The business session will take place on Thursday, October 9, at 1:00 p.m. Counties are encouraged to appoint their voting delegate by the deadline to avoid handling it onsite at the conference. 

*Note: Cellular devices will be used to cast votes and delegates must be able to access their email accounts onsite. 

 

Panel Next Generation 911 Next Steps: Collaboration Is Key to Successful Implementation

Next Generation 911 (NG911) is a critical upgrade to Georgia’s emergency response system, replacing outdated infrastructure with a modern, IP-based network. The state began implementing NG911 with the passage of HB 423 during the 2025 legislative session and appropriations supported by Governor Kemp and the General Assembly. With more than 80% of 911 calls now coming from mobile devices, NG911 will improve location accuracy, ensure faster routing of calls and data, and support communication methods like text, photo, and video. It will also enhance system resiliency, enable better response during disasters, and improve data sharing with first responders. Most importantly, NG911 ensures Georgia delivers the highest level of public safety services, keeping citizens safe and meeting their expectations for modern emergency response. The success of NG911 depends on strong collaboration across all levels of government, and county engagement and support will be essential to achieving a fully integrated and effective statewide system.

Speakers: Aleisha Rucker-Wright, Georgia Emergency Communications Authority Deputy Executive Director; Rep. Clint Crowe, Chairman of the House Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee; and Rep. Chuck Martin, Chairman of the House Study Committee on Funding for Next Generation 911
